What Is Considered a Wrongful Death?

A wrongful death is any incident in which a person dies due to the wrongful, negligent, or intentional actions of another person or entity.

Examples of wrongful death include:

• Drunk driving accidents
• Motor vehicle accidents caused by defective products
• Defective building design or construction
• Violent attacks, including murder
• Nursing home abuse and neglect
• And more

If your loved one died due to any of these circumstances, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

In Texas, the individuals who can file a wrongful death claim are typically limited to the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased. This includes both biological and adoptive relationships, and in the case of a spouse, it includes both same-sex and opposite-sex marriages.

The only other person who may file a wrongful death lawsuit in Texas is the deceased's personal representative, unless specifically requested not to by the surviving spouse, children, or parents.

Please note that grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, siblings, and other extended family members are typically not eligible to file a wrongful death claim in Texas.

The defendant in a wrongful death suit can be a variety of entities, including a negligent driver, physician, property owner, or company owner.

Remember, wrongful death laws can be complex, so it's important to consult with a legal professional if you're considering filing such a claim.
